So I keep hearing about a chromosome test to find out the gender, how does that work? I asked my mom about it & she…

@lindsayymarieee, I had the Harmony test rather than an amniocentesis which was just a blood test and my cost was $135 after insurance. It was recommended because of risk factors however

If you aren't high risk most insurers won't pay for it. I had the harmony test at 13 weeks I think and found out she's a girl :). My SO family member asked and they told her around $300 after insurance paid their part. It's like a $1500 test

Make sure your insurance covers it mine was like 1300 and I had to get 11 tubes blood taken from my arm. thank god for insurance

Still pretty pricey even with insurance. I decided not to do it & wouldn't recommend spending extra $$ doing it unless you have a history of chromosomal disorders in your family. Only because shortly after that, you can find out the gender in a routine ultrasound :)

I had the harmony test done. I had to cause I'm high risk. But that's how I found out at 13weeks.

I think I'll wait for the ultrasound then 😂😂 my cheap ass ain't payin that much when I'll find out in 7 or 8 weeks anyway

eh... it depends... some insurances won't cover it, some will.. it all depends on if your dr says you need it or not... and there are at least 3 different test. I did the panorama test and there is a harmony test and I know one more, just can't think of what's it's called.

my sister in law has insurance she still had to pay 2hundred some odd dollars for it

@lindsayymarieee,

high risk women get them free that's the only easy insurance covers it

Mine cost $130 extra @lindsayymarieee

They have a new way of detecting fetal blood through your blood, which shows the babies DNA. (:

It's just a blood test and you can find out the gender sooner. I just had mine done Friday and my Dr said it would take about a week to get back the results. So I am here not patiently waiting lol! @lindsayymarieee

@littlemissrainesmommy, thank you! Does it cost extra if you have insurance?

they draw the blood from your arm... in not sure exactly how they know, but I got one done at 13 weeks and found out it's a healthy baby girl!
